The returning Doc Conference on Sept. 16 will feature Hader talking about his new series Documentary Now, and Canadian director Avi Lewis and wife and activist Naomi Klein on building documentary audiences from the ground up. The early industry conference announcements were made by former Screen Australia and NZ Film marketing head Kathleen Drumm, who recently joined the Toronto festival as industry office director.

Toronto's invitation-only industry conference will feature, in all, around 200 speakers, with additional talent lineup announcements to follow in the coming weeks.
